DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kurt Busch has lost his appeal to be reinstated for the season-opening Daytona 500. A three-judge panel upheld NASCAR's suspension on Saturday, but attorney Rusty Hardin said Busch will now go to final appeals officer Bryan Moss, who indicated he would hear it Saturday night. Busch was suspended indefinitely Friday after a Delaware judge said the 2004 champion almost surely choked and beat a former girlfriend last fall at Dover International Speedway.
